dico Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 Final table of a 5 euro tourno on Virgin. 1st place pays about 350, think 10th was 15. I am 10th out of 10 as the final table starts, but there are a couple of players with not that much more than me. About the 4th hand UTG goes all in. He has a big stack. It gets folded round to me (7th position). I have JJ and decide to fold because : a) he has me covered and I will be out in 10th for 15 euros if I lose b) he had no reason to make a move unless he had a premium hand Having thought about it some more I think it is more likely he had a smaller pair. Surely if he had AA, KK, QQ or AK he wouldn't want to scare everybody off:unsure What do you think? p.s. ended up 6th for 62.20 euros:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chatoman Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 Re: Is this to tight? More often than not, he had a hand he didnt feel comfortable with, maybe 88, 99, 1010 or some AJ, A10 or A9s (some people does that!!!!) If it was me, i think i would have payed.

The Quiet Man Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 Re: Is this to tight? Dico, It may well have been the correct decision to fold...we'll never know although your mindset appears to be on surviving rather than trying to win!:unsure If I was lying 10th out of 10 and looked down to see JJ there'd be no way I'm folding......it's a perfect chance to almost treble up and put you back in the frame for winning....only 3 hands are beating you and even then you've still got a chance! :nana What hand were you looking for at that stage of the game? :unsure Well done on 6th place! :ok TQM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought I will call, he will have A9 and I will lose to an A on the river:lol Luckily I stole a couple of blinds and then doubled up with QQ! I eventually lost when I had two pair and he hit runner runner for trips:wall Can't grumble though, it's swings and roundabouts:) I really need to get more aggressive in the final stage of tournos:$ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GaF Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 Re: Is this to tight? I'm with glceud and TQM - I cant lay JJ down in this situation - I'd rather risk all to go for the win than try and limp up a couple more spots.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goater14 Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 Re: Is this to tight? Defo call, he would,nt of made that move with aces, kings or even queens so at worse your 50-50. as was pointed out earlier in the thread more likly a mid pair where he did,nt want any action. Well played on your 6th place by the way.:ok Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJ Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 Re: Is this to tight? gut feel is it's an insta push. Would need to know stack sizes in relation to blinds and if you had a very specific read on the guy, but 99 times out 100 it's a push Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
happyhornet Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 Re: Is this to tight? Got to agree with the rest of the guys here, Dico. With a top heavy payout structure and you already in last place, what have you got to lose? Call, and get frustrated when he draws out on you!!!:tongue2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
